Assembly operators fumble around with screws daily during the fastening process. The repetition of grabbing small fasteners from a bin is tedious and time-consuming. The constant repetition of picking up and fumbling around with hundreds and hundreds of screws daily impacts productivity and costs. It’s an unnecessary expense and an inefficient process. Also, a potential…
Anyone who has worked on a car’s brake lines has confronted the problem of needing a tight, reliable seal between the fittings that tie the line to the rest of the brake system. These need to hold fluid through the stresses of daily driving. After all, a leak that lets air into the line means…
Is lost productivity impacting your manufacturing output? Repetitive fastening tasks managed across multiple workstations, tools, and assembly operators is an opportunity to improve process efficiency. Implementing a fastening automation workflow allows engineers to bridge the productivity gap. Grouping similar processes and assigning standardized tightening tasks allows manufacturers to streamline the assembly productivity process and remove…
As manufacturing ramps for a product, engineers often search for tooling options to increase productivity, lower costs, and reduce potential torque failures. Power-driven screwdrivers are suitable for an assortment of assembly applications. Electric torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and to ensure product quality, cost savings, and reduced assembly failures. Screws and bolts…
Whether you’re a production line manager or quality manager, improving your production is a constant project. That means finding cost-effective ways to increase speed and decrease lost products. When you’re working with products that are held together with threaded fasteners, managers often find room for improvement with their fastening systems. That doesn’t necessarily mean shutting…
The difference is quality. Companies invest in torque tools to improve their products’ quality. Using torque tools, manufacturers and service professionals can ensure that each fastener they touch will not fail due to being too loose or tight. Often, a company’s reputation and market share depend on the reliability of its products. Human lives depend on…
In the intricate world of controlled manufacturing environments, where precision and cleanliness are paramount, the choice of tools plays a pivotal role. Dust, microbes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and pollutants are adversaries that must be meticulously managed in industries such as semiconductors, medical devices, aerospace and defense, and optics. Clean rooms, foreign object debris (FOD)…
What is an impact wrench? It is a wrench that uses a discontinuous drive clutch system and compressed air to achieve torque. Impact wrenches are commonly used worldwide. They are often used to tighten lug nuts on cars for tire changes. Impact wrenches, with their “hammering” design, are destructive by nature. Due to the lack…
